Explanation:

- Option 1: Stayed

- A suit isn't typically stayed under the doctrine of res judicata. This doctrine asserts that a matter, once judged, cannot be pursued further by the same parties, thus staying isn't the usual outcome.

- Option 2: Dismissed

- Dismissal is the correct outcome as it prevents relitigation of a case already decided. The case is essentially closed and cannot be reopened or revisited.

- Option 3: May be stayed & may be dismissed

- This option mixes scenarios and isn't as definitive as "dismissed."

- Option 4: Both (a) & (c)

- This option is inaccurate as res judicata pertains specifically to dismissal, not merely staying.
